Bannon was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old infielder hit .176 with two doubles, a steal and a 6:7 K:BB in 17 at-bats during Grapefruit League play. Capable of playing at both second and third, Bannon will likely make his MLB debut at some point this season if he performs well at Triple-A.
